Jagermeister?

Question

I've never had it. Apparently it tastes like cough syrup? I personally don't mind the taste of cough syrup, like NyQuil and Robitussen, so I wanna give Jagermeister a try. For those who don't mind the taste of cough syrup, how would you compare it with Jager? Sweeter? More bitter? Spicier? Etc.

Answer 1

I think it tastes like licorice but its good! Try some jagerbombs!!!  (shot of jagermeister in glass of red bull)

Answer 2

I am uncertain why Americans think Jägermeister is a drink like beer or something. It's a digestive drink and we call it a herbal liqueur. One drinks a shot of it after dinner, especially a heavy one. You can keep it in the fridge or in the freezer. It's not really bitter and it certainly does not taste like cough syrup

Answer 3

licorice is the strong flavor in this drink and its very delightful if you ask me.  Its not popular by itself, however many people like to mix it with rockstar or red bull and make bombs...lol

Answer 4

I think it does taste like cough syrup, but I think cough syrup kind of tastes like licorice but not as sweet. I think its about the same but I would rather drink cough syrup Jager doesnt do much for me.

Answer 5

nothing like cough syrup ,tastes very herby , the best way to drink it is straight ,but not to much as it's strong in taste and alcohol .

CHEERS

Answer 6

anyone who shoots jager is a wuss an a half, there just tryin to seem cool and "hardcore" by shooting something, when it is in fact like shooting liquid black licorice. if ya'll wanna be hot **** why dont u try shooting some real booze rather than candy?

Answer 7

yeah it tastes like cough medicine if you dont like it mix it with redbull its 3/4s red bull 1/4 jager. itl creep up on you

Answer 8

I told my sister it was cough syrup and made her take a shot (LOL) i told my dad it was Jager and he finsihed my bottle :(

If you really want to try it drop a shot into a cup of red bull or if you like beer chase it with guinness. taste great!!!!!

Answer 9

It taste like black licorice a little bit. I hate black licorice but It's real good if you drink it with Red Bull. I can't drink it without it.

Answer 10

ok it dosent taste like cough syrup at all!lol

Answer 11

It is pretty sweet and in my opinion tastes much better than cough syrup.  If you want something that tastes like cough syrup try UV red vodka, it tastes just like cherry cough syrup.

Answer 12

A lot of people say it tastes like black licorice.  I personally don't mind the taste of it, but prefer it mixed with red bull.

Answer 13

The question should probably be "What is the best way to appreciate Jägermeister ?  



Jägermeister is a German 70-proof digestif that is made with herbs, roots, and spices. Others are: Gammel Dansk from Denmark, Becherovka from the Czech Republic, Fernet Branca from Italy.  It has a bit more sweetness than some of the others mentioned, especially Fernet Branca.

The drinking, or maybe I should say abuse  of Jägermeister in some countries has lead to its prohibition or limitation.  In the US it seems to be associated with the rock community where drinking it in combination with other liquors or beer is cool.

A digestif is a beverage which is drunk at the end of a meal. Some believe that such digestifs aid digestion, hence the name.  Fernet Branca, an Italian herb liqueur, is a popular digestif. They are usually drunk neat and are most often spirits, such as cognac, brandies, grappas, whiskies and herb-flavored liqueurs.

Answer 14

I'm sorry to upset you if you were really excited about it, but it tastes like candy but in the most disgusting way, there is no great way to describe it...I mean, other than GROSS :(

Give it a try if you want, but the only way for it to start tasting good is if you drink a lot of it...lol

Answer 15

It's been a while since I had Jagermeister, but I recall it's very sweet and thick, and tastes very strongly of licorice. I wouldn't say it tastes like cough syrup, but if you don't like black licorice, stay away.

Answer 16

It dose have the taste of cough syrup a little but more black lickerish kind of taste. YOU HAVE TO drink it could no doubt about that. Some people can drink it straight but then again people drink it with red bull that are called "Jager Bombs" I prefer a GREAT drink is mixing Jager with Rockstar Fruit Punch i'm telling you its a great one.

Answer 17

ok I'd say it's not as sweet as cough syrup but the flavor does resemble that and black licorice.  If you're gonna try it make sure you have it ice cold.  There is nothing worse than hot jager.  My suggestion would be to try it as a chilled shot first before you go and have a jager bomb or red-headed s**t.  If you don't like it, then try the red-headed s**t.
